How far has America fallen when the DOJ’s Civil Rights division files an amicus brief with the Supreme Court supporting the Second Amendment against Illinois, and that filing is unusual? How can it be that the DOJ defending a fundamental, unalienable, express constitutional right should be rare, so rare as to be surprising, even astonishing?
If Democrats and their media propaganda arm are to be believed, Donald Trump is a dictator bent on destroying “our democracy.” Ironically, they’re right. He is determined to destroy “our—their—democracy,” which is a tyranny of the majority. That’s why Dems are so desperate to keep every illegal in the country. They want that 50.0000001%, which in a democracy rules. In “our democracy” the majority can deprive the minority of property, rights, liberty, even life. Thus did Biden’s Handler’s Forestry Service try to imprison South Dakota ranchers Charles and Heather Maude over a fence built before they were born. Under “our democracy” they would have gone to jail for ten years leaving their children without their parents. Under our constitutional, representative republic, the charges were dropped.
Such is the tyranny of Donald Trump who ordered his Administration to protect the Second Amendment rights of Americans. “Our Democracy,” like all would-be tyrants, wants to disarm all Americans. Trump, the dictator, wants American’s Second Amendment rights protected.
The issue in this case is Illinois’ violation of the Second Amendment and the Supreme Court’s Bruen decision by banning “assault weapons,” primarily AR-15s, the most popular rifle in America, and “high capacity” magazines—actually, standard capacity magazines. Thus are Illinois’ Democrat rulers part of “our democracy” rather than America’s representative republic.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Is this what a tyrant would do?
It’s the Feds responsibility to enforce the Constitution.
I always said they should enforce 2A this way against the states.
“Shall not be infringed” is pretty clear and US Constitution has supremacy.
Even though some states put their own version of 2A, they only did so under the presumption that ultimately it’d be the Feds violating that principle so they added it as a kind of additional guarantee.
Michigan constitution: every person has the right to keep and bear arms for the defense of himself and the state. Not much wiggle room there.
Colorado constitution: The right of no person to keep and bear arms in defense of his home, person and property, or in aid of the civil power when thereto legally summoned, shall be called in question; but nothing herein contained shall be construed to justify the practice of carrying concealed weapons.
Yet the commies here keep bending us over every year.
Guess we missed the “*” at the end defining all the exceptions. 😊👍
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Michigan has added many unconstitutional modifiers, none of which matter to me.
The Michigan laws greatly modify the constitution. Those should be repealed.
I do like the simple language Michigan used.

“Their” democracy is the tyranny of a minority through voting chicanery, both foreign and domestic.
‘“Shall not be infringed” is pretty clear...’
I believe the “right” which “shall not be infringed” is not as clear and is seldom discussed.
Oregon is the same. Marxists can ignore State law, too.
No one remembers the wording in the 4th. Raids on Mar a Lago were unconstitutional. As is searching the car after a minor moving violation.
Ditto.
Yes, we have a marxist gubner right now passing laws about public carrying of weapons, and storage of same.
